flash Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 im going with either a mud clod in the end of the barrel, or a dodgy round got stuck near the end, without knowing this he loaded and fired again, causing a huge build up of pressure resulting in that pic.

alexm Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Any of the above, or a cleaning patch or too much oil left in the barrel maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poacher Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 did he bump into that tree infront of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Bugs Bunny came along and stuck a carrot in the end. The shooter (Mr. E Fudd) in turn received a sooty looking face with scorched hair and looked very disgruntled as a result, but was nonetheless unharmed by the incident.

Evilv Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) I was once standing next to a shotgun that did something like that. The barrel was obstructed and the guy fired it. It was a bit disturbing I have to say, looking at the bent strips of steel that might so easily have taken my head off. I was only about three or four feet away from it at a rifle range where the owner was firing solid slugs. I guess that one in the picture isn't a rimmy though. Looks like there was a fair bit of violence released there. Edited August 26, 2008 by Evilv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJN Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) http://www.darylsguns.com/besafe.htm The picture on the injuries I've left off ! Don't let this happen to you! Sighting in your expensive new deer rifle 1. Shiny new, high-powered deer rifle.............. $1200.00 2. Quality, high-powered scope........................ $ 550.00 3. Bore sighting device.................................... $ 140.00 4. Hospital Visit............................................... $ 4,893.00 5. Forgetting to remove the bore sighting device prior to shooting? Priceless ! p.s. for the gory pictures you can go here but it's not nice about halfway down http://mbatm27.wordpress.com/2007/10/ Edited August 26, 2008 by MGMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 The bore sighter seemed to come out of it quite well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKIE Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 one way to shorten the barrel....he need a new gunbag aswell now as it dont fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 It looks bad enough from the pic you posted but the first one on the website really gives you a better idea of the energy envolved as you can clearly see how thick the barrel wall is.

radio1ham Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 yeh i guess i does make you think a bit and to always check your barrels making sure nothing is logded in the barrel guess the guy that owns this gun is wishing he checked it aswell an easy and expensive mistake to make i dare say the results of any thing stuck in a shotgun barrel would be just as bad if not worse as i guess it dont take to much to end up with a barrel like that maybe it will make people think if they drop barrel to the ground make sure it cleaned properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
